If bands stayed exactly the same for 25 years, don’t you think that they would just sound like they were ripping themselves off eventually?

People run out of ideas sometimes. You don’t necesarilly need to, but I think it might be wise to change it up a bit every once in a while, just to avoid anyone saying, “Oh, such and such song sounds just like another song they made a few years back.”

Granted, they are not as good as they used to be back in the day, you gotta cut them a little slack.

Flip flops?! Wow what a faggot. Seriously. You’d have to be some kind of cock gobbling rejects to wear flip flops. Sure fire sign that that pole smoker is going down in what we all know is the most important test of one’s overall ability: the cage match.

Hey…give James a break. people get older and chill. Hell, he doesn’t drink anymore…so maybe he shops now.

The new Metallica disc is pretty damn good in my opinion. I like MOP the best, but it’s the best thing they have done in years. You can tell they put a ton of work into it. If people thinks it sucks, maybe you should pay attention a little closer. It’s as close to old Metallica as your gonna get.

Do expect a band to sound the same for…say 25 years?

That would get pretty boring as an artist, don’t you think. Sure, they tried some new things and it was s**t for the past few years, but they are back on track.

Aw, c’mon, you guys! Death Magnetic is AWESOME! Personal opinion, but just look at how excited the band is STILL about it, almost two years after its release. When they’re excited about their music, I get excited about it, too. And the amount of work that everyone put into it was 110%. No, it’s not the same. Should it be? Probably not. Everything changes, grows, and has periods of time where things might not seem so peachy. But they’ve still got it. That youthful, convicted drive that drove them from L.A. outcasts to the kings of the metal universe. So even if you think that some of their stuff wasn’t up to snuff (IMO, I love every single album they’ve ever done for different reasons, but that’s just me), or if you just don’t like it anyway, you’ve at least got to admit that Death Magnetic is very well-composed, very driven, and all around very Metallica!

As for this pic…I love it. The Met-ladies are all chillin’, James is chillin’ with a ever so slightly peeved…kinda confused expression on his face…and Rob’s just like, “what?” And, hey- you’ve got a bazillon dollars, whaddya gonna do with it? You’re gonna shop! And Armani has some nice stuff, metalhead or not.
